adameliclem Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I recently visited a hobby shop I’d never been to before, Hobby Haven in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I found a Kitty Hawk Kingfisher. $45. I calmly paid for it, walked to my Ford and got the hell out of town. Adam Daniel460, scvrobeson, Kagemusha and 6 others 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Now this really pleases me. Had the kit as a tyke, traded it a few years back, and have been wanting another ever since. Round 2 reissued the kit a year or so back, so I recently snatched one (but I didn't pay 30 bucks for it). Troy Molitor and Trak-Tor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adameliclem Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 5 hours ago, Winnie said: lol I knew I was pushing it but I went back to Hobby Haven today. There was one more thing I couldn’t pass up, a 1/18th Pegasus Fi-103/V-1 for $25. As a precaution, I applied a fake twirled mustache with a sharpie and affected a French accent. Even though the kit wasn’t on the discount shelves, they rang it up for $20 plus change. I calmly walked to my Ford, drove away at precisely the local speed limit and got pulled-over by the cops because celebratory gunfire on the roadways is illegal in Rhode Island, apparently. “Not in France, monsieur,” I said. Now I’m in jail. lf anyone wants to make the others jealous, Hobby Haven in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, has a 1/32 Tamiya Mosquito FB Mk.VI “Export Version” with clear cowling panels for $170. I’ll post a shoutout for the shop in General Discussion later. They have stuff. Adam scvrobeson, Winnie and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Bargain! I picked this up for a ridiculously good price a few days back. Been wanting the kit for a while, and now I have it.

Ever since I mangled the Doyusha kit, I've been wanting another A6M2, either 1:32 or 1:24, and it will be a machine from one of the three carrier groups, probably the Hiryu (or Kaga).

Treehugger Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I've always wanted an A-7 Corsair II kit, ever since I flipped through every page in that big Tamiya catalogue as a kid, showing all their models painted and all, the jets in 1:48 and the ships in 1:350 scale as I remember it. This kit ofc has a more correct jet intake and presumably a correct canopy, which is why I eventually got this from my local hobby shop. Seems hard to get online, but to my surprise, it was always there in the hobby store. I recently learned that the A-7 Corsair II is a more modern development from the earlier, and not-that-fun-to-look-at-jet I think, hm, the Crusader. The kit below is my entry to 1:32 scale. I just don't have the shelf space, but I figured this one does fit inside my glass cabinet. I won't miss Kitty Hawk, not after their 1:48 UH-1D release, not happy about that one. Also, you might want to check out the movie Sky Fighters (French movie), which features the Mirage 2000 jet.

LSP_K2 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I managed to snatch a G-10 kit for myself. Thanks Reuben, I really appreciate it. Troy Molitor and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
